Thanks for the info. I took your lead and just put 33x10.5 BFG's under my 96. Had 31x10.5 previously. I added one inch wheel spacers to get out from under the strut bucket, and then ended up adding a 1" strut spacer from NX4 to stop rubbing on the top of the fender well. I will get pics up in the next week or so. A little rub-age on the plastic fender liner - similar to pics you had. I will take a heat gun to those this weekend I think. No issue with power as stated.
And yeah, I think your a little better than half a foot off the ground in that one pic.....
Thanks again.
